A mother bought a Christmas present with her five-year-old child. The streets echoed with Christmas songs, the windows were decorated with colored lights, and toys were dazzling ... The mother undoubtedly thought that the child must be very excited to see all this, but the child began to sob and cry. The child only said "my shoelaces are loose", so the mother had to squat down on the sidewalk to tie her son's shoelaces. Mother inadvertently looked up and saw a terrible scene: there were no colorful lights. There are no dazzling toys ... because those things are too high, the child can't see anything, only a pair of stout feet rub and collide with each other, coming and going ... The mother finally understood and picked up the child. ...

The story is very simple, but it tells us a truth: to look at the problem from the perspective of others, only by empathy can we really understand what others are thinking. In fact, we often just think and judge from our own standpoint and impose our wishes and ideas on others. If we can put ourselves in each other's shoes, maybe the problem will become very simple, and we may see it deeper and more thoroughly.
